The Enniscorthy Under-14 team produced an impressive performance on the road last weekend, overcoming a long two-hour journey to Tullamore to claim a convincing and entertaining victory.
Despite the travel, Enniscorthy started the game full of energy and focus. They struck early with two quick tries from Eoin and Jack, both the result of sharp handling and excellent support play. Those early scores set the tone for a dominant first half.
There was a moment of frustration when Thomas came agonisingly close to adding another try, only for the dead-ball line to come up too quickly — a small mistake that halted a promising move. However, Enniscorthy quickly regrouped and continued to pile on the pressure.
The standout of the day was Michael, who delivered a powerhouse performance in attack. He scored a brilliant brace of tries, showing real pace and strength — even flattening a defender on his way to the line. His efforts inspired the team and lifted the tempo of the match.
In the second half, Charlie got on the scoresheet with a well-finished try, capping off a fine display of teamwork and determination from the visitors.
In total, Enniscorthy crossed for six converted tries, displaying confidence and cohesion across the field. Tullamore battled bravely and were rewarded when their second-row forward crashed over for a well-earned try, giving the home crowd something to cheer about.
Enniscorthy’s breakdown work and line speed showed marked improvement as the game went on, though coaches noted there’s still plenty to refine. The lineout, led by Jack, was a real asset, with several clean takes setting up attacking platforms.
After a long day of travel and a hard-fought match, the Enniscorthy squad returned home pleased with their progress and the result — a well-deserved victory built on teamwork, determination, and plenty of promise for the season ahead.
